According to the information via tipster @taruvats33, the Instant Slow-Mo feature is coming to the Samsung S23 series, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series soon. It is expected to come with a One UI 6.1 update.
Instant Slow-Mo
Instant Slow-mo uses on-device AI to create intermediate motion between frames, resulting in realistic and seamless transitions. Users can activate the feature by lightly pressing and holding the screen while watching a video in the gallery or video player app. They can then see details in sports swings, dance moves, or precious family moments.
Users can also edit and save the slow-mo sections of the video, or share them with their friends and family through social apps. Instant Slow-mo is a great way to relive and capture the best moments of life in stunning detail.
However, the feature has some limitations. Instant Slow-mo is not supported for downloaded, shared, or screen-recorded videos, web-only streaming files, or cloud-saved videos due to varying resolution and quality. The feature is only available for videos that are recorded or stored on the device itself.
Google’s Pixel phones received the first Developer Preview of Android 15 in April 2024. The new operating system will remain limited to the Pixel lineup until I/O, while, Samsung will open its Beta Program — One UI 7 — for Galaxy devices sometime in August 2024.
One UI 6.1 is the latest Galaxy skin based on Android 14. The One UI 7, powered by Android 15 will debut on many Samsung devices later this year. While it’s just the beginning of 2024, we already know Galaxy devices are eligible for Android 15.
